Keep up to date with all that is happening with Smallman and all of our no-good bands. As well, we’ll be running exclusive giveaways for the mailing list (pieces of carpet, old fax machines ... you know, “cool stuff”), so sign up now to be part of the magic.

“For that really, really sad kid who enjoys wallowing beneath the unbearable weight of all the bad things in the world:

SICK CITY - Nightlife - I saw Sick City play in Ottawa on the dirt floor of the basement of a record store and the band had this crazy light show that some guy was operating from the side of the ‘stage’. If this band will set up that whole thing for a thirty minute set on a dirt floor for thirty kids, imagine how awesome this record is.”

So we’re not the only ones who think that 2007 was a big year for Smallman bands. Chart Magazine/Chartattack have started their readers poll for 2007 and Smallman artists are represented nicely. So if you have time, go to http://www.chartattack.com/poll2007/poll.html and vote for the following:

The Golden Toque (Best Canadian Album):

13. Comeback Kid

The Thank You Much-Ly Award (Best Video)

38. Reason (We’re So Beyond This)

The Throw Your Underwear Award Male (Sexiest Canadian Man):

3. Andrew Neufeld (Comeback Kid)

As long as you vote for those three, we couldn’t care who you vote for in the others. Although we’re watiting till next year when I’ll be eligible for Lord Stanley of Mullet Award (best hair). that’s only another 12 months without a cut.

CBK have done a couple of video tour diaries for ChartAttack. The first one from the UK is now posted at the link below. This one focuses on their time in the UK and shows in London, Manchester and Glasgow during the ‘Never Say Die Tour’ with Parkway Drive, Cancer Bats, This Is Hell and the Warriors
